The Family of Jacob
29:31 When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, 1 he enabled her to become pregnant 2 while Rachel remained childless. 29:32 So Leah became pregnant 3 and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, 4 for she said, “The Lord has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. 5 Surely my husband will love me now.”
30:1 When Rachel saw that she could not give Jacob children, she 1 became jealous of her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children 2 or I’ll die!” 30:2 Jacob became furious 3 with Rachel and exclaimed, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?” 4
